I got a little daily calendar and have been designing a sword-of-the-day every day for the past two months! Each week is a new theme; it's been fun to do a bunch of little design explorations under one big umbrella. You can see them all on my patreon: www.patreon.com/careydraws

Here's the full wraparound all together! The actual spine is substantially thicker than this lol. I had so much fun designing a wraparound that featured both the Stolen Century & Story & Song arcs. I'm really proud of what we've all made & excited to get to talk more about it soon!
